Brazil is the home of an astounding array of music, as was frequently explored during the World Cup of 2014. Some of the finest Brazilian musicians of all time were collected together on an exceptional album entitled \u2018Sonzeira: Brasil Bam Bam Bam\u2019, for which you\u2019re strongly recommended to hunt bargain bins to pick up a copy (or, of course, just buy it now<\/a>).<\/p>\n

But Brazilian music is not just about classic artists with decades-long careers. Brazil\u2019s pop charts are filled with young, talented superstars, and\u00a0here are six of the finest Brazilian musicians of today to wiggle your hips at:<\/p>\n

Anitta<\/b><\/h3>\n

The current queen of Brazilian pop, Annitta (also known as MC Annita) currently has two songs kicking around the top of the Brazilian charts. Top of the tree at the moment is Na Batida<\/i> (\u2018The Beat\u2019), an upbeat number involving a lot of colourful costumes which quite cleverly contrast with the second song, Cobertor<\/i> (\u2018Blanket\u2019), a slightly more sultry affair. Some 25 million people have watched the latter on Youtube to date, so it\u2019s a clear winner among music fans.<\/p>\n
